"In relation to man, 'God’s active claim upon a creature consecrates' him, making him holy. Man’s holiness 'follows God by imitation and even participation.' However, the man who encounters God’s presence must either participate with God’s involvement in human history or be removed in judgment away from the place where His presence is manifested." http://atdcross.blogspot.com/2014/02/gods-holiness-permeates-bible.html
